Hi all,

I upgraded to LMDE a couple of weeks ago and have notice a strange behaviour that was not there in LM13.

When I'm copying large files (5-60 gig) to my backup disk and start to perform another function so as watch a Youtube video while the copy is running, the whole copy function seems to crash and I need to reboot my box. The processor, prior to starting a web browser is running at about 2-3%.

So now, until this is resolved just just leave the copy function working which is a bit sad given what LMDE should be able to provide.

Any ideas? Is this just a config setting?

Thanks guys (and gals).

Steve.

might be just a personal thing, but typically won't multi task, when moving files around,
particularly when via a USB connection, as there have been the odd failure(s).

also won't multi task when D/Ling a ISO, - as also won't risk it. ..

if you're using nemo it could be the effect of an old bug in nemo.

Hi guys,

Does anyone else have some possible solutions please?

Regards,
